It's fun to see how solar panel manufacturing processes affect how they look. Mono-Si is produced in cylinders, so the cells are cut to octagons, a compromise between wasting too much material, and having too much empty space when tilling. Poly-Si can be made directly into squares without waste, and is also cheaper, but the panels are less efficient.

Ever since learning about Solar Power in my 1964 Weekly Reader, I have dreamt of this day. The Solar Panels are on the roof and I am one excited Old Coot. #solar #solarpower #solarpanels #sun #sunworshiper #sunworshipers #energy #cleanenergy #solarenergy #carbonfootprint

Rooftop Solar Energy record broken (only 2 days after previous record broken). At 12:30pm today (18 Oct) on the Australian National electricity market the amount of rooftop solar alone made up 54% of power in the grid, and large-scale solar added another 15% - meaning Australia’s largest grid was 69% solar powered and overall 75% Renewable Energy. Please note that nearly 17% of Utility Solar was being curtailed at the time (Coal can't turn off easily). #solarpower #renewableenergy

An #India- #Japan alliance could prove monumental for the #solar industry. The International Solar Festival at the #OsakaExpo set an optimistic tone for future partnerships to both counter #China & the increasingly anti-solar #US

@pluralistic Thank you for helping solar power get to people. As you share, the fossil fuel and technology sectors are trying to add choke points to solar power systems. #solar, #solarpunk, #offgridsolar, #balconysolar, #growyourown, #solarpower, #solarpanels
